Christmas Luncheon 2024

Welcome to the 79th Annual Cardinal’s Christmas Luncheon!

We’re so glad you’ve joined us for this memorable event. Your support today is at the heart of Catholic Charities’ mission: bringing compassion, dignity, and tangible help to those in need across New York City. Because of friends like you, we’re able to provide critical services, offering a lifeline to families, children, and seniors who face daily challenges.

The Impact of Your Presence

As you enjoy today’s celebration, remember that your support fuels a mission that serves thousands. Catholic Charities addresses the most urgent needs across our city:

  • Sheltering families in crisis to give them stability and a safe place to rebuild.
  • Providing meals for the hungry through food pantries and nutrition programs, especially for vulnerable seniors and struggling families.
  • Offering critical services like mental health support, employment assistance, and legal aid to empower individuals toward a brighter future.

Join Us in Expanding Our Reach

If today’s program and stories of resilience move you, consider joining us in expanding our reach even further. Additional support—whether through a direct contribution or by pledging a gift—allows us to grow our services, offering hope to more people. Each extra gift provides additional shelter, food, and assistance for those we serve.

Every Contribution Counts

You are a part of something extraordinary here today. Through your kindness and generosity, Catholic Charities can continue addressing immediate needs and building sustainable solutions. Together, we’re helping our neighbors experience a life filled with dignity and possibility.

Thank you for being with us and for your commitment to making New York a more hopeful, compassionate place for all.
